After Chu Xuan hung up the phone, he immediately logged on to the Internet to check the news.

And sure enough, as Whiteside put it, he was named the cover character of DIME. It's just that he is not alone on the cover of this issue.

The cover theme of this issue of DIME magazine is around the Lakers, and the cover of the magazine selects three young people from the Lakers, Draymond Green, Norris Noll, and Hassan Whiteside.

"DIME" described the trio as the "Lakers' inner triangle", calling them the hope of the Lakers' future and the core of the team. In the Lakers column in the magazine, the editor specifically analyzed the performance of the three this season and their growth potential. In the end, it was concluded that the three-man frontcourt combination would be invincible in the future.

After such a prediction appeared, of course, there were many people who opposed it. Because in terms of individual performances so far, Whiteside and Knoll have the potential to grow into stars.

However, as a "9+5+3" jack-of-all-trades forward, no one thinks he can be a star, let alone show dominance on a star-studded front.

However, of course, Chu Xuan would not agree with this opinion, because his hopes for Green's report were still very high. You must know that in his previous life, Green was able to play a "20+10+8" super organizational forward in his peak season. This data, throughout history, except for those few Hall of Famers, no one has been able to type.

And in this life, Chu Xuan didn't expect Green to be able to play at that level, after all, it was too difficult, and it was full of too many accidental factors.

However, if Green plays with the Lakers, Chu Xuan is still confident that he will be trained to become an All-Star level player in the future. Therefore, the "Lakers Interior Iron Triangle" mentioned in "DIME", Green still deserves it.

In fact, this situation is also what Chu Xuan is looking forward to seeing. You know, if Green, Noll, and Whiteside can become All-Stars in the future, at that time, the Lakers will definitely be invincible on the inside, and they will definitely be absolutely dominant.

With another star-level perimeter, it is not impossible for the Lakers to maintain their dominance in the league for the next decade or more. And at that time, the Lakers dynasty that Chu Xuan expects to see will be realized.

For now, of course. Chu Xuan's Lakers dynasty lineup is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is in its infancy. As the so-called heavy responsibility has a long way to go, Chu Xuan can't help but feel a little pressure in his heart.

However, for Chu Xuan, it can be described as a double happiness now. The young players he chose gradually emerged, and he finally achieved the position of head coach, although it was only temporary, but for Chu Xuan, he was finally able to show his talents.

********

After officially taking over the work of head coach, Chu Xuan began to promulgate the training plans he planned one by one. Then, according to the potential and characteristics of each player, start developing them as much as possible to make them better.

At the same time, he also formally formulated corresponding tactics and drills according to a variety of player combinations, and immediately implemented them to make trade-offs.

In Chu Xuan's thinking, according to the Lakers' current lineup, there are as many as 10 available combinations. According to the drill, there are three types of best results.

"Kobe + Gasol + Noll"

"Kobe Bryant + Gasol + Green"

"Jackson + Knoll + Green"

What made Chu Xuan feel helpless was that Whiteside's position in tactics seemed a little awkward. Because after many attempts and rehearsals, when Knoll and Whiteside were on the field at the same time, the effect he wanted to see was not shown at all.

But. Chu Xuan did not give up his intention to integrate Whiteside into it and create a tactical center combination. He still insisted on building the twin-tower combination of Noll and Whiteside.

In the following days, Chu Xuan even tried the lineup of five young people at the same time, including Noore, Whiteside, Green, Jeremy Lin, and Jackson, in the game, and the final results were quite satisfactory.

Especially in the game against the Warriors, the five young men put on a number of powerful performances, frequently turning the tide, and finally dragged the game into overtime. And finally in the final stage of overtime, Green scored three points to beat the old master, and the scene was extremely spectacular and shocking.

And he contributed 19 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in that game. Such an eye-catching performance was much to the chagrin of the Warriors' new general manager, Bob Meyers.

Obviously, in his first season in office, he made such a big loss-making deal for his boss, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on his general manager's career.

However, Bob Meyers was reluctant to admit that his choice was wrong.

So, Meyers said in an interview with the media: "Draymond played well, but I think this time it was just an accident. He may be resenting the Warriors for abandoning him, which gives him the motivation to play well. But the truth is, Stephen was injured at the time and we did need a scorer. The arrival of Nick Young solved the team's offensive problems. So, I don't regret my decision at all. ”

However, such remarks only made him laugh. In the subsequent game against the Suns, Green once again put on an eye-catching performance, with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals, and the Lakers also won another 27-point victory.

For the second game in a row, Green's all-round outreach made him immediately the focus of media pursuit, and more and more affirmations appeared, proving how wise the Lakers made to trade Nick Young for Green in the first place.

Of course, it also proves how stupid Bob Meyers' trade decision was.

In particular, Magic Johnson, as a contracted commentator of Time Warner, pulled up an All-Star vote for Green when he appeared on TNT's show. Moreover, he also supported Green on Twitter several times in a row.

Magic Johnson did this, of course, for a reason. He and Green are both NBA players from Michigan, and since Green played in the NCAA, he has been to the scene many times to watch the game and publicly praised Green.

The two have a good relationship, so Johnson's support for Green is not much news.

As for being an All-Star? Green certainly has no hope this season.

Green's outburst made Chu Xuan extremely happy, especially in the game against the Warriors, Chu Xuan couldn't see any hope of winning for a while. But in the end, Green's stunner made Chu Xuan extremely relieved.

After several consecutive victories, the Lakers' winning streak is getting more and more, and Chu Xuan has also received more and more praise. And the entire Lakers team is completely in the spotlight.

The enthusiasm of the fans is growing, and the expectations in their hearts are stronger than ever.

Because as the time approaches, Christmas is just around the corner......
